Hi I'm assuming that the packet's payload you referrer is L4 payload, i.e., application layer protocol. In this regards, OpenFlow specifies[1] matches up to L4 fields.
What you can do is to send the packet arriving to switch to Pox. To do this, you might take a look at Pox's FAQ "How do I get switches to send complete packet payloads to the controller?"
